I agree with every word, especially this. It was only a week ago he was complaining that he only had $100 for breakfast. A normal adult can budget and eat for a week with $100.
And he will be bitching out the chair by the end of the month. it will be in the corner nook of the garage and memory holed unless he pays someone to take it away like the exercise bike
It doesn't help that on top of not being arsed to care about being wasteful with money, Phil can't be bothered to make himself aware of how the rest of the world lives, either. Not only is that too much work, but it's a thought that would never occur to him because of how incredibly self-absorbed he is. Whatever Phil does, based on what Phil wants, is the standard that Phil follows. And due to insecurity, anybody eating off of $100 for a week is making him look bad, and therefore Phil would keep being Phil out of spite.
If it's not one bad trait getting in the way, it's one of the other ones. Or the entire rest of them.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but Phil's excuse for not being able to get a new PC is complete and utter bullshit. I go on Amazon and I see the highest-end CPUs in stock. And as far as I know, you don't need a GPU to stream with. Everyone knows he'll be using that PC only to stream with.
Despite this, I'm 99% sure Phil wants his next PC to be a gaming PC. This is bat-shit insane since he's not a PC gamer. But even then, he could just a PC without a GPU and buy one later down the line if he wanted to.
I can't fathom how dumb he is, I just can't. He could build a kickass streaming PC right now for like 1000 bucks, right? But he just blatantly refuses to do so. It's shocking. His whole life is about finding excuses not to do things.
In addition to being an idiot, Phil has a certain need to feel "elite", better than you, and thinks that an over-priced flashy piece of shit (whether it be a so-called gaming rig or a cheap chair or whatever) accomplishes that goal. No matter how many times he has been humiliated in public for this attitude, it has not gone away. He's so lazy he won't look for other ways to feel superior, that might actually work.
If he invested on a PC, he would buy so many games for a fair price on Steam.
This is actually part of the problem. In looking at Phil's schedule now, he seems quite reluctant to take advantage of even the Xbox Series X library. Can only speculate as to exactly why, but he is dodging a lot of games. Imagine how he feels about the prospect of opening himself up for demands from the retards after he gets himself access to the vastness of PC games right now. It undoubtedly looks like a god damn minefield to him, utterly terrifying.
I'm starting to think that Phil is at the end of his rope when it comes to tolerating the fact that hot new releases keep him fed, not him. Especially since what the majority of his audience actually enjoys, and he knows this, is seeing him get wrecked trying to comprehend a new game that's too much for his gin brain. He may accept the money, but he does not like how he is getting it. Not one bit. There's a reason he bitched so much about Returnal before even touching it. There's a reason he put off Divinity 2 for so long, and had no intention of finishing it. Phil is running out of options, because he's done putting up with the options that are in front of him.
DSP used to claim that he couldn't play a game unless he got hundreds of dollars in tips. When people offered to give him the game or Nintendo credits directly, DSP bitched about how he wouldn't be able to pay his electricity bill and they will cut him off the second the bill is late, even though that's literally illegal in many states.
In other words, Phil was admitting that what he really wanted was enough money to get everything, and be able to privately decide exactly where any of that money goes, avoiding transparency completely. Like the spoiled shit that he is.
Though obviously we know now that that money was for Scopely.
